Change your email or password

Update the email address or password on your account from your settings.

For travelers and guides2 min readUpdated September 24, 2026

You can update your email address and password yourself — where you do it depends on whether you're a traveler or a guide.

Travelers

  • Change your email: go to Personal Info under your profile, enter your new email, and confirm. We'll send a verification link to the new address — the change only takes effect once you open it, so check your new inbox.
  • Change your password: go to Account Security and set a new password.

Guides

  • Change your email or password: both are on your Settings page. Enter a new email and select Update Email to send a verification link to your new inbox, or use the password fields to set a new one.

If you signed up with Google

If your account uses Google sign-in, there's no separate Rainbow Tour Guides password to change — your Google account controls sign-in. You can still add a password to your account from Security or Settings if you'd like an alternative way to sign in.

Choosing a new password

Whichever page you use, a new password needs at least 8 characters, including an uppercase letter, a lowercase letter, a number, and a symbol. You'll type it twice to confirm it.

  • If you already have a password: guides are asked for their current password first. That stops anyone who finds your device signed in from locking you out.
  • If you signed up with Google: the form explains that you're setting a password rather than changing one. Once it's saved, you can sign in either with Google or with your email and the new password.
  • If you've forgotten your current password: sign out and use Forgot password instead. See Sign in or reset your password.

Keeping your account secure

Use a password you don't use anywhere else, and keep your email inbox secure too: whoever controls that inbox can reset your password. We'll never ask for your password or a verification code by email, chat, or phone.
